Hi. Is it possible to add a connector or connection so that Columns can use BigQuery as a database or data source, or connect to a web data source using API or JSON? Is it possible to add it as a node to N8N down the road?
I bought Columns a long time ago the moment it showed up on AppSumo, and I'm so happy to see that you have been working on it and steadily improving its features and capabilities. Great job. 加油 Shawn!

A: Yes. Columns already can connect data through API which returns CSV or JSON data formats.
We are in the middle of revolutionize Columns in its current user experience, after that, we can consider adding more connectors, but as you asked, the existing HTTP API already make many things possible as long as user can make their live data available through api.
I ended up refunding the deal some time ago, because the UI was overwelming. but I think, I will have another go. I see that you have a lot of ways for users to get in touch with you (really big plus) Which platform do you recomend to use for support related things?

A: Thanks for coming back. Good question, either support email or live chat.

Q: Connect Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Ads, and Meta Ads?
Is it possible to connect Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Google Ads, and Meta Ads, and chat with that data? And all without complex and technical stuff. Just connect and done. 🤔

A: Not that, Columns is more like a generic data analysis and visualization tool. But I think it is a very good idea for what you described.
Are the embeds SERP, AEO and LLM friendly? Do they include schema data so that these entities know what is there. Or is this simply the user and shows data in graphs?
If schema in included in the image or graph, what is its extent.
Thanks,

A: Not sure if we catch up with latest techniques to make it SERP friendly, surely we never consider optimizations for LLM yet.
We are happy to learn how to make it more LLM friendly.
if the graphic is just a graphic with no schema what use is it really. for users sure but these days it needs to be useful both AI, LLM, SERPs what ever.
Q: product reviews
hi
I can this be used to visualize product feature reviews? example feature yes/no. If yes, examples, thanks!

Dec 7, 2025A: It can visualize any structured data, same as what Spreadsheet can do.
If you have data samples of your product feature reviews, feel free to share it and we can post a visualization result here for reference.
